South actor Prabhas, who became a pan-India star post the historic success of the Baahubali series, is currently waiting for the release of his next, Radhe Shyam. Helmed by Radha Krishna Kumar, the film stars Pooja Hegde as the leading lady and is slated to hit the theatres on March 11.

As only a few days are left for the film's release now, Prabhas is on a promotion spree. Recently, in an interview, the actor opened up about getting intimate on screen and revealed that he generally tries to avoid such scenes. 

Talking to Pinkvilla, Prabhas shared that he is still uncomfortable doing kissing scenes. However, he performs such scenes in case the script demands it, as he did in the case of Radhe Shyam.

The actor, who had several bare-body scenes in the Baahubali series, also doesn't like going shirtless in front of the camera. Before shooting for such scenes, he makes sure to keep the number of people watching him on set to a minimum.

Sharing about his discomfort, he said, "Director wrote like that and it's a love story, so I can't even say no. In a commercial film, we can still avoid but in love stories, it is needed. Even now, I get uncomfortable with kissing scenes and removing my shirt. I check how many people are there on sets and say let's go and do somewhere else. In Chatrapati also, Rajamouli sir made me remove shirt on the sets and said you can now do anything".

Last seen in Saaho, Prabhas is excited for the release of his much-hyped film, Radhe Shyam. Sharing his thoughts about the movie, he stated, "It has a very interesting storyline. It's a war between love and destiny. There are going to be a lot of twists in the climax. My role Vikramaditya is a little complicated in the film but we have tried to put in a very realistic, subtle, calm, and also energetic. The visuals are never seen before, vintage, set in Europe".

For the unversed, Radhe Shyam is set in Europe in the 1970s and revolves around Vikramaditya, a palmist, who is torn between destiny and his lady love Prerana.

Besides Radhe Shyam, he also has films like Salaar, Adipurush, and Project K in his kitty.
